Summary: Public Librarian's Essential Handbook
Comment: The main reason I picked up this book because I enjoy Will Manley's articles on American Libraries journal. I like his written style and the way he approaches the topics. Unsolicited Advice is a book of questions that are asked from the people who work at the library, including library pages, library clerk, professional librarians, and even library directors. The most impressive thing of this book is that Will Manley creates "humorous" titles to the answeres. For instance, when he "advises" new librarians not to compare the ways the previous library they worked, he makes up the title as "When Husband are dead they look better," and when he mentions that it is not a good idea for husband and wife work at the same library or the same department, he says, "People go to work 40 hours a week in order to get away from their spouses." These kinds of titles are "honest" and most important, they are humor and makes you laugh from the bottom of your heart. In addition the illustrations are great too. they will make your laugh and think and even feel the real meanings of Will Manley's answers. It is a great book for anyone who work at library. Hey! Check it out by yourself and enjoy it!
